I checked my new-old-stock dual distributor yesterday and there is a gap between the housing at the bottom and the bearing...I was able to slide a white project board piece of cardboard between them, so there is a gap for splash oil to get there and then into the holes at the base of the bearing at the sides.

I found this pic on a 993 forum from a member that rebuilds them. Of course I'd like to confirm that myself.


And then these pics on a bearing manufacturer's site showing the differences...


Not a pressing issue since that bearing is fine in all the distributors I have taken apart, but let me do some more digging.
